O (giant) Christmas Tree

Today Kate and I went to Home Depot, the land of Christmas trees. Our new living room is gigantic, with enormous ceilings, so we looked for the biggest tree we could find.

We knew instantly when we had found one that was a solid foot higher than the rest, and so big that the two of us could barely get it to the car.



But when we plopped it in the living room, and cut off the ties holding it together, we realized it was the most gigantic tree, ever. Seriously, out of the history of trees.

I've glanced over at it periodically throughout the day as it's unfurling, and each time, it has gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. I'm worried that some branches will make their way into my bedroom by the time I wake up tomorrow.



Really. It's huge.
